nanoporous ag-cnts foamed electrode for lithium intercalation

intercalation of lithium into ag-cnts sample is reported here. we have used a nano-porous silver foam as a frame for deposition of the cnts   inside   the   pores   by   electrophoresis   deposition   (epd) technique. by using  chronopotentiometry method,  we  have noticed that the li storage capacity of the prepared ag-cnts electrode was improved  noticeably  in  comparison  with  literature.  in  addition,  a very  good functional stability  for  the  prepared  electrode  has  been tested   during   subsequent   cycles   of   charge / discharge   (c&d) procedures. by scanning the cycle's regulated current from 0.2 up to 1.0 ma , it was shown that in the range of 0.4–0.6 ma reversibility of the c&d capacity became optimum and the voltage profiles were converged, as well.
